Having your home city named as the second most expensive in the country may not seem like reason to celebrate… but Dalton Lewis sees the bright side. That city is Brooklyn, and as far as Lewis is concerned it’s a sign that Brooklyn is where it’s at.

That energy and vibe were captured by Lewis in his latest shoot Brooklyn Is Where It’s At. With fun styling by Raymond Gee that flits between vintage-Gothic and vibrantly retro, it’s hard to disagree.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals.

And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
